A few words on Liege
The prince-bishops built it. Simenon wrote about it. The Meuse holds it together.
Liege spent the better part of the Middle Ages as an independent ecclesiastical principality, ruled by prince-bishops who answered to the Holy Roman Emperor rather than to any king of France or Belgium, and the city's sense of independence is still palpable in its character. The Palais des Princes-Eveques on the Place Saint-Lambert has two courtyards with intricately carved Gothic capitals, and the scale of the bishops' ambition is readable in every corbel. The Musee d'Art Wallon in the palace cellars holds the finest collection of Walloon painting outside Brussels.
Georges Simenon, the creator of Inspector Maigret, was born in Liege in 1903 and grew up in the Outremeuse neighborhood, an island formed by the arms of the Meuse, whose working-class character shaped the detective fiction that would eventually sell 500 million copies worldwide.
The Maison Curtius museum holds Simenon memorabilia alongside archaeological collections, but the more telling tribute is walking the Outremeuse itself, which still has the cafe culture and neighborhood density that Simenon described as the world Maigret inhabited instinctively.

Liege FAQ
Before you walk.
Liege-Guillemins station is on the Thalys high-speed network and is served by Eurostar connections from London (via Brussels) and TGV trains from Paris (about 2 hours). From Brussels it is about 1 hour by intercity train. The station is a 20-minute walk from the old town, or a short tram ride.
The city center and the Outremeuse island are both walkable, though Liege is built on hillsides with steep streets in some areas. The Montagne de Bueren, a staircase of 374 steps climbing the Publee hill, is the most famous example of Liege's vertical character. The Meuse riverfront provides a flat alternative route connecting the main areas.
Yes. Calatrava's station is in the top tier of contemporary architecture in Europe and is genuinely impressive at human scale. Arriving by train into the soaring white hall is an experience in itself. The station is also 10 minutes by tram from the main shopping area and museums.
Liege waffles are a distinct thing: thicker and denser than Brussels waffles, made with a brioche dough with pearl sugar caramelized into the surface, and eaten out of hand rather than on a plate. Boulets a la liegeoise (meatballs in a sweet-sour sauce of sirop de Liege, a apple-pear syrup) is the canonical local main course. The Sunday La Batte market has excellent food stalls running the full length of the riverfront.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
